Playing with the Auto Accompaniment The Clavinova includes a sophisticated Auto Accompaniment system that can provide automated rhythm, bass and chord backing for your performance in 125 different styles, as well as 35 different types of piano-only accompaniment. The Auto Accompaniment playback data is normally not output by the MIDI [OUT] terminal. To send the Auto Accompaniment data to another MIDI instrument, use the ACMP&RHY and HARMONY functions in the FUNCTION [MIDI 4] display described on page 150.

Choose the accompaniment mode that best suits your playing style. q Single Finger The Single Finger method makes it easy to obtain accompaniment in major, seventh, minor, and minor-seventh chords by pressing certain keys (according to simple rules) to the left of the split point indicated by the keyboard guide lamp. (See page 60.) Detailed explanations of each accompaniment mode are given on pages 60 and 61. q Multi Finger When you select the Multi Finger mode, you can use either the Single Finger method or the Fingered 1 method to indicate chords for the accompaniment. (See page 60.) q Fingered 1 The Fingered 1 method lets you control the Auto Accompaniment by playing full chords to the left of the split point. (See page 60.) q Fingered 2 This mode accepts the same fingerings as the Fingered 1 mode, with the exception that the lowest note played to the left of the split point is used as the bass root (in Fingered 1 mode, the root of the chord is always used as the bass root). Hence, you can select this mode to play "on bass" or "fraction" chords. (See page 61.) q Full Keyboard The Full Keyboard mode automatically produces appropriate auto- matic accompaniment for virtually anything you play, anywhere on the keyboard. (See page 61.)
